I finally got my Speed6 GT after 5 months of waiting... Took them long enough. They were "several months behind" on my shipment. Go figure.

Oh well, I finally got it, so there's another Speed6 roaming around Western Phoenix.

And the navigation is a lot cooler than I thought it was going to be.
 
I got Titanium Grey and I wanted Black/White leather but we all know they don't put that in the 2007's unfortunately.

Here's some pics:

The only things I wish it had are a HomeLink button in the rearview, a boost gauge, an MP3 player...

Plans as of now are to get a Shark Fin and tint the windows ASAP (the dealer charged crazy prices for really light tint)... Does anyone know if they have the black plastic shark fins? I'm not sure I want a color matched shark fin, it might look funny...

Also, I want to lower it about half an inch, but I have a feeling that's going to be a bit pricey being all wheel drive. Anyone lowered their's? Any price range estimates?

Oh, and I have to adjust the clutch a bit.

Thanks y'all.
 
Congrats on your purchase.

Check out Visual Garage's website, they have pictures of all sorts of cars with color matched shark fin antennas. I have one on my Black Cherry Mica and think it looks great. Their paint matching is spot on. I am sure if you didn't want one painted they could accomodate you.

A company called RPM is developing lowering springs with an increase in the spring rate that can be used with the stock struts/shocks. The first set has been installed on a car and they have said they want lower the front a little more, so can't say when their product will be available. AutoEXE springs are currently available through Corksport and others, they give about an inch of lowering but are pricey at over $400.

There are a couple of engine mounts available, AWR, CPe and another one I don't think can be mentioned here. They differ only in hardness of the material used, I have the CPe and it did a lot for taking out driveline lash and making shifting easier/smoother. There is a slight increase in engine vibration at idle, but nothing annoying. Installation is easy if you are mechanically inclined.

Another good mod that I just got done installing is TWM's short shifter and shift bushings. Drops the lever height about 1" and shortens the throws about 35%. The bushings tighten things up so action is more direct.

Thanks for the tips. The CPe engine mount is the one I was looking at when I first ordered the car, too... I'll have to check out Visual Garage's website, too, thanks for that tip.
